3 Arrested In Middletown Drug Bust

3 people were arrested Monday after police conducted drug searches in Middletown.

MIDDLETOWN — Three people were arrested Monday after police executed search warrants on two residences where they believed drugs were being sold, according to police reports.

James Parker, Paul Godet and Shaquima Privott were all charged with possession and sale of several narcotics, including cocaine, marijuana and MDMA, or "Molly," the reports say.

Officers searched Parker and Privott's residence at 29 Daddario Road and Godet's residence at 34 Shaefer Road on Monday after "numerous" complaints from local residents, landlords and building management about the sale of illegal drugs from those locations, police said.

Police seized about 25 grams of MDMA, 8 grams of crack cocaine and about 300 grams of marijuana from the Daddario road residence, the reports say.

At the Schaefer Road residence, police found a little more than 4 grams of MDMA and about 15 grams of marijuana, according to the reports. Police found scales and items used to package narcotics for sale at both locations.

"The large sum of molly, marijuana and crack cocaine found in the residence was far more than a normal user would have in their possession, and was an amount that was indicative of an individual involved in the sale and trafficking of the drugs," police said.

Godet and Parker, who both have prior felony convictions, were each held with bail set at $500,000, police said. Both were scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.

Privott was released on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on March 30.
